Đề 1: Among a grap service, your own motorbike and bus, which means of transport do you prefer to
commute to school or work?
Opening:
    Thanks to the development of today’s society, people have a lot of choices of means of transport.
Among three options: a Grab service, my own motorbike and bus, I think that my motorbike is the best
transport to go to school or work because of some following reasons.
Body :
   -     Motorbike:
             I can choose which route is open, with few cars and avoid traffic jam
             I also can travel at my own pace.
                I can take the initiative time by myself
                In terms of long-term expenses, using a motorbike can be more economical than relying
                 on Grab services.
    -    A grap service:
              They can also be more expensive than other forms of transport, especially during peak
                 hours or in high-demand situations like heavy rain.
              Using Grab requires a smartphone and a stable internet connection. Therefore, if I don’t
                 have access to the Internet, I can’t book Grap to go, so I may be late for my work or
                 study.
              Therefore, I think it’s not suitable to choose
    -    Bus:
              I am often bound by the bus timetable, which may not align with my schedules.
              In addition, I sometimes must walk a long distance to the bus stop
              Public buses can become crowded, especially during peak hours and holidays, so I feel
                 uncomfortable to go by bus
Đề 2: You are 18 now and can choose where you want to live. Your options are: living with your parents,
living with friends in a rented house, or living in the dormitory. Which is the best option?
   For me, the best choice is the dormitory for two main reasons. First, it saves me time. If I live in
    the dormitory, I don’t have to travel far to get to campus. This is faster than if I lived with my
    parents or in a rented house. I also have quick access to campus resources like the library and
    computer labs. Second, it makes student life more enjoyable. There are many activities at the
    dorm that are easy to join, and I can meet many other students. Living at the dormitory lets me
    make more friends and enjoy my time as a student better.
Đề 3: You and your friends are going to go out tonight. Which places would you like to go to: the cinema,
shopping center, recreation center?
   My friends and I are considering where to hang out tonight. Among three options: the cinema,
    shopping center, and recreation center, I suppose I would choose the cinema as the most suitable
    choice because it is currently offering a discount on tickets tonight for the action movie that just
    came out. I think the shopping center is also a good idea but it's a bit far from my house. On the
    other hand, I don’t choose to go to the recreation center since we went there last week. In short,
    the cinema is the option that suits me most.
  Đề 4: It’s your birthday next week. A friend wants to buy you a gift. Consider the following options: a
  camera, a bag and a notebook. Which is the best gift for you?
         A close friend wants to give me a present for my birthday and asks me to choose one of the
          items including a camera, a bag, or a notebook. Obviously, a camera would be my ultimate
          option. Actually, I have been longing to own a digital camera for a long time but haven't saved
          up enough to buy one yet. I think a notebook is also a good idea but I don't have the habit
          of taking notes in a notebook as before, now I prefer to use online applications on my phone. I
          will not choose a bag since my mother gave me a very beautiful bag. In short, I hope to receive
          a camera on my birthday next week.
  Đề 5: Your child’s school is planning to educate childrenn about the environment. There are three
choices for children: cleaning the school yard, making a recycled thing, and donating a tree.
  Đề 6: You are getting three jobs in three different places: in a government office near your house, in an
international company in HCM city, and in a company in Singapore. Which job do you think would be the
best choice
  Đề 7: Your friend often feels stressed out and you want to find a way to help her reduce stress. Three
options: learning a new skill, doing volunteer work, or playing sports.
  Đề 8: You are thinking about ways to celebrate international women’s Day with your class. There are
three options: giving flowers, organizing a class picnic, and having a party in a Karaoke room. Which
would be the best option?

 -    Seeing a movie
 -    Going shopping
 -    Singing Karaoke
      Outline:
        -     Watch a movie:
                My friend and I are big fans of watching film, especially romance and horror Korean
                 films. So I think it is very interesting to enjoy our favourite films at the weekends.
              It is a good way to reduce stress after school
              It’s a great chance to spend time with friends and gắn kết mối quan hệ
          -   Going shopping:
              It is often a hobby for women, not for men so it is not suitable for group including
                 both boys and girls
              It’s a waste of time and money
          -   Singing Karaoke:
              It is noisy and in karaoke room we cannot chat with each other because it’s too noisy
         Sample:
    -    A telephone operator
    -    A hotel receptionist

           -     A tourism agent:
                 have a lot of opportunities to communicate with foreigners from different countries
                     directly - This helps me learn more skills such as communication skills and English
                     speaking skill
                 broaden my relationship by making more new friends
                 gain more knowledge when going to many beautiful places in Vietnam  know more
                     about languages and cultures of these places
           -     A telephone operator:
                  It’s also tedious ( buồn tẻ) because I must answer the phone and transfer calls. This
                    can limit my exposure to diverse language use.
                  I won’t have a chance to communicate directly with my customers
           -     A hotel receptionist:
                 It’s boring because I have to do the same work every day
                 The hotel reception environment can be stressful, which might make me harder to
                     focus on language learning
         Sample:
              Nowadays, learning English is very crucial for everybody but studying must accompany with
         practicing. Therefore there are several ways to practice English, for example you can do a part
         time job to practice, maybe a telephone operator, a hotel receptionist or a tourism agent.
         Among the options available, practicing with a tourism agent stands out as the best choice for
         me because of the following reasons. (OPENING)

    -    A lakeside hotel
    -    A countryside cottage
         Outline:
          -     A seaside resort:
               It’s easy and fun to organize different activities in a resort with a large space
               There are many outdoor and indoor activities for my family to do on the beach
               Taking part in these games helps my family becomes closer to each other and we can
                  have a memorable time
               Moreover, it is getting hotter and hotter, especially in summer, so going to beach is a
                  suitable choice to have a great summer time. We can play water sports like windsurfing
                  and swimming
         -      A lakeside hotel: You know, …..
               The space in a hotel is limited and even it is quite small, so it’s very difficult to organize
                  various activities
               May be it is lack of shopping malls and many entertainment places to go
         -      A countryside cottage:
               There are not many interesting activities to do or beatiful views to see
               There’s no bars and pubs, I may find nothing to do at night
               Depending on the location, you might experience noise from farming equipment,
                  animals, or other rural activities, which could disrupt the tranquility you’re seeking.
         Sample:
           The standard of living nowadays is increasingly higher and many families choose travelling to
           reduce stress and enjoy beautiful sences. If I am among three options: a seaside resort, a
           lakeside hotel and a countryside cottage to plan a trip for my family, I think a seaside resort
           stands out as the best choice for me because of the following reasons.

             Train schedules can be less flexible than flights or bus services. Depending on the
                time of year, there may be limited options for departure times

              something new during my holiday
        -    A beach holiday:

Đề 26: You are assigned to collect information about a certain city in the country. Among the following
actions, which do you think is the most suitable method: Searching on the Internet, asking people
around you, or going to the town yourself?
         Outline:
          - Searching on the Internet:
             The Internet provides instant access to a wealth of information about any city from
                historical facts to current events
             Online platforms host a myriad of opinions and experiences from people who have
                visited or lived in the city.
          - Asking people around me:
             The information gathered from people around you may be biased or limited to their
                personal experiences. This can result in a narrow understanding of the city, failing to
                capture its full complexity.
             Finding and interviewing individuals who have relevant knowledge about the city can
                be time-consuming. It may not always yield the depth of information needed for a
                comprehensive understanding.
          - Going to the town yourself:
             Traveling to a city can be expensive and time-consuming. Accommodations,
                transportation, and other expenses can add up.
             Planning a trip involves various logistical challenges, such as finding suitable
                accommodations, transportation, and navigating unfamiliar areas
         Sample:
Đề 27: You are deciding on a pet to adopt. The options are a dog, a cat or a rabbit. Which would do you
        choose and why?
         Outline:
          - A cat:
               Cats are known for their independent nature, making them ideal pets for individuals
                   with busy lifestyles.
               Unlike dogs, cats do not require constant attention and can entertain themselves for
                   extended periods.
               Cats generally require less maintenance than dogs.
          - A dog:
               One of the main drawbacks of owning a dog is the time commitment involved.
               Dogs require daily attention, training, and exercise, which can be challenging for
                   individuals with busy schedules.
               Dogs can be expensive to care for, with costs including food, grooming, veterinary
                   care, and pet insurance.
            -  A rabbit:
                 Rabbits require specialized care, including a specific diet, proper housing, and
                    regular veterinary check-ups. This can be a challenge for me because I am not
                    familiar with rabbit care.
                 While rabbits can be affectionate, they may not provide the same level of
                    interaction and companionship as dogs or even cats.
         Sample:
          If I had the opportunity to adopt an animal, out of 3 options:
Đề 28: You are thinking about how to spend your evening. There are three options: watching a film,
reading a book, or listening a music. Which do you think is the best choice?
         Outline:
        -     Watching a film:
            I really love watching films, especially Korean romantic films
            Films combine storytelling, cinematography, and sound to create an immersive
                environment that can evoke a wide range of emotions.
            Watching a film can also be a social activity, making it an excellent choice for evenings
                spent with friends or family, so I can be closer to each other.
        -     Reading a book:
            Reading a book requires a significant time investment to read completely a story or a
                book
            Reading for extended periods can lead to physical strain, particularly on the eyes and
                neck.
            Reading book is quite boring for me
        -     Listening a music:
            While music can be emotionally engaging, it often lacks the narrative depth that films
                and books provide.
            Depending on the environment, listening to music can sometimes lead to distractions.
         Sample:
          In the busy life of today's era, everyone
          wants to fully enjoy their free time. And if I have a free evening, among 3 options:
Đề 29: You are planning your birthday party. There are three options: cooking something yourself,
ordering takeout, or going to a restaurant.
         Outline:
         -   Cooking yourself:
            Preparing a meal yourself allows for complete customization, enabling me to tailor the
              menu to my tastes and the preferences of my guests.
            Cooking at home can also be a more budget-friendly option compared to ordering
              takeout or dining out and so I can save money.
         -   Ordering takeout:
            There may be concerns regarding the quality and freshness of the food.
            Food that has been sitting for a while during delivery may not taste as fresh or appealing
              as a freshly prepared meal.
          Another potential drawback is the risk of delivery issues like delay, incorrect orders, or
           missing items.
       -   Going to a restaurant:
          Dining at a restaurant can be significantly more expensive than cooking at home or
           ordering takeout.
          When dining at a restaurant, hosts may have limited options for customization although

       the guitar, or gardening. Which do you think is the best?

      -    Gardening:

          Doing gardening can brings me the feel of satisfaction and accomplishment when I can
             plants trees and flowers myself.

             can improve fitness levels and promote overall well-being.
      -    Learning a paint:
          I find it so difficult to understand different techniques, color theory, and composition of
             objects.
          Paintbrush kits, paints, and paper cost a lot of money to buy.
      -    Playing the guitar:
          One of the main drawbacks of learning to play the guitar is the time commitment
             required for practice.
          Mastering the instrument takes dedication and perseverance, which can be challenging
             for me.
          High-quality instruments, accessories, and lessons can add up quickly and I don’t have
             that much money.

           - Tropical island: - disad
                 One of the main drawbacks of a tropical island holiday is the potential cost.

                  during peak tourist seasons.
                 Tropical islands are often subject to unpredictable weather patterns, including
                  storms and heavy rainfall or even typhoon like Yagi.
           - Historical city:
                    A holiday in a historical city offers a unique opportunity for cultural enrichment
                     and education.
                  I can explore ancient architecture, museums, and historical landmarks that
                     provide insight into the city’s past.
                  I can experience many delicious specialties in historical cities and explore local
                     markets and trying traditional dress.

                     My parents don’t allow me to travel to that dangerous area.
